The Boys: The Instant White-Hot Wild (2022) Season 3, Episode 8

Not bad but disappointing

[6/10 · 31 May 2024]

I just rewatched the entire series in preparation for season 4. And I certainly had the most fun with season 1 and 3.

I remember feeling underwhelmed by this season final but still liking it.

Upon rewatch it is much worse than I remember.

I'll keep this short.

The show did WAAAAY too good a job of endearing you to Soldier Boy, he is just way to likable for me to root against him.

The entire ending was just frustrating to watch. I don't think it's illogical like some. Of course The Boys want to stop Soldier Boy.

And of course Butcher wants to protect Ryan. But there were about a million ways for him to get him out of there without betraying Soldier Boy.

I really hope this gets brought up in season 4, I hope Butcher gets to suffer for this mistake and that Soldier Boy returns quick. He is by far the best character in the show and it would be a shame to get rid of him.

Overall super disappointing ending to an overall great season.

Evil (2023– )

Almost great

I was somewhat surprised about this. I loved the book and the movie and didn't think this was needed.

Honestly it payed off, the acting is (for the most part) really good. The cinematography and blocking is on point and I honestly think this show as a much stronger theme. About the cyclical nature of power, abuse and violence.

Only things I didn't really like were the romance (no real chemistry between the actors and it felt underdeveloped) I also didn't really feel the relationship between Erik and Pierre. That was much better done in the film.

Overall tho. Great job!

I will never forgive Gustav Skarsgård after that scene.
